Event overview

The Long Run is a loop trail event at Jacobsburg State Park in Wind Gap, PA. The course is a give-or-take 5 mile loop that uses single track and flat, fast gravel trails. The loop includes about 450 feet of elevation change and starts and finishes at the Equestrian Parking Lot near the Sobers Run trailhead. The event is offered in two editions: Spring Forward (original course run counter clockwise) and Fall Back (the same loop run in the opposite direction). Runners may complete a single loop or run as many loops as possible within timed events. For a lap to count, it must be completed before the 3-hour or 6-hour cutoff.

This is a cupless, self-supported event; participants must supply their own hydration. Coolers of water will be available for bottle refills between laps or before and after the event. Runners in the 3H and 6H events may use a personal bin or bucket under 30 gallons for aid, placed near the start-finish area. There is no limit on crew or support on race day, and the event is spectator friendly. All finishers receive a race finisher pin. Sustainable medals and branded caps are awarded to top finishers by gender categories.
